Switching To 6 Volt
I'm planning on switching the house side of the Sahara over to 4 - 6 volts golf cart batteries this spring. Either T-105s or Interstate. I'm also planning on adding another 100 watts of solar to the ...

I currently have 4 12 volt Napa "deep cycle" marine/RV battries that I'm estimating at about 200 AH for all 4. The new arrangement should get me to around 800 AH.
Most likely you currently have about 4x80=320AH with the 4 parallel batteries. 2 6V in series doubles the voltage but not the amps. So you will have about 2x232=464AH for the 4 series parallel batteries.
Many would also suggest more than 200W solar but try it and see how it works out.
